Crystal Ball Post Is Black Monday Incoming?

So much fear in the markets and this time really feels different. All the Mag7 stocks are so hit by the tariffs our iPhones will probably cost $5,000 soon and as the world slows, people will use Amazon less, advertise less on FB/IG. No one is buying Tesla anymore. Who needs anymore AI chips, yet AI is decreasing Google searches.

I fear the world is realizing it all this weekend. Or is it just me that sky appears to be falling?

Cmon people, it feels like just yesterday we were talking about how everything is overvalued and we can’t wait for a correction to buy at cheaper prices. Well this is it. Here’s your opportunity. Capitalize on it

ETA- definitely realize this could be much more than just a correction, but if you’re in it for the long haul, this will be a great opportunity

That assumes this is a “dip”, which it won’t be if this escalated into a trade war for the next 2-3 years. Ten years of stagflation where we don’t see these highs again until 2040 is not an “opportunity” for most investors.

Plus dip buyers got severely burned buying on Thursday

I wouldn’t call those dip buyers so much as falling knife catchers. This is no “dip” in the conventional sense here. The market is not ebbing and flowing as it naturally does. At this rate, you must wait for the bottom to hit (without countless tests of support) before going in

Ya that means it definitely won’t work over the weekend.

That logic does hold. If you can't afford to invest, you shouldn't invest.

Your logic seems to be that of someone who really can't afford to "gamble" on playing the market but wants immediate gains.

If I invest $1 now and it averages up by 2040, while I also earn/have enough saved to live without crippling myself until then, that's a win.

If you're investing but can't take the volatility or you'll literally not be able to eat, what are you even doing?

My point is now is not your “opportunity” any more than two weeks ago. People shouldn’t be trying to time this market by jumping out and trying to jump back in a few weeks or months from now. Either just stay in or sit in your cash while things play out. Trump pulled the trigger and even if he reverses himself in a few months there are going to be longstanding economic effects that are going to be impossible to time.

P/e is still historically high, P has been falling down lately, the real shit happens when E starts falling too
